Mmmm, Mmmm Monday: Parmesan Okra and A Great Giveaway

I love okra. It is a great summer veggie. I really love it fried, but let's be honest, that probably defeats the purpose of eating it. I found this recipe in Southern Living a couple of summers ago (along with the Chicken Enchiladas I shared last week) and it is a little bit healthier alternative to frying. Oh, and I just so happen to think it tastes delicious! Everyone who eats this, likes it.

Parmesan Okra

1 pound fresh okra, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

2 tablespoons olive oil1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs (I actually try to do half Italian and half whole wheat, If I have both on hand)

2 teaspoons Greek seasoning

1/4 cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese ( I usually use less)

Sauté okra in olive oil over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and seasoning, and cook, stirring often for 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.So easy and so tasty!AND........There is GREAT giveaway at Holy Turf this week!!!You can win one of two Gameday Items!!!How cute are these dresses?!?!

Me.

I have been married for eight amazing years to The Mr.! God blessed us with a beautiful daughter, Sweet Cilla, on March 9, 2009. She makes life worth living! I love my pooches a ridiculously large amount! Nothing makes me happier than to be with my family and friends- they are such a blessing! I am so thankful for God's grace that is evident in my life daily! I also love anything monogrammed, shopping (online and off!), traveling, sweet tea, fabulous shoes, white sand & blue water, the Razorbacks, organization, beauty products, football season, and Chocolate- especially ice cream, cupcakes, and lattes! I loath cell phones at the table, good bye's, and alarm clocks!
